Review – Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III
The Bubble Bobble lore is hard to follow. Bub and Bob keep going from bubble-spewing dinosaurs to rotund children and back again, but maybe it’s also their kids, or maybe it’s their girlfriends. Sometimes they’re dragons, and sometimes they aren’t. To make it more confusing, there are two “The Story of Bubble Bobble IIIs.” There’s 1991’s Parasol Stars: The Story…
